Maria, Königin des Friedens (Mary, Queen of Peace) is a pilgrimage church and parish in Neviges, part of Velbert, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The church is built in the style of Brutalism. It was consecrated in 1968, and also became known as the Mariendom and Wallfahrtsdom.

This is the most influential and recognized building by architect Gottfried Böhm.
In 1986, he became the first German architect to be awarded the prestigious Pritzker Prize. Among the most recently completed construction projects involving Böhm are the Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam (2006) and the Cologne Central Mosque, completed in 2018.

The church first had an electronic organ. A pipe organ was consecrated in May 2010. It was first built in 1976 by Stockmann organ builders from Werl, Germany, for the Antoniuskirche in Hildesheim. It was transferred to Neviges in 2010 by Orgelbau Seifert from Kevelaer but expanded.
